the Parrot

Juha was thrilled to have a new companion in his old house, a vibrant parrot he named Polly. He was eager to teach Polly words to entertain himself and his guests. However, Juha soon noticed something strange—items from his home began to disappear mysteriously. " - I can't believe my favorite mug is missing again," Juha sighed in frustration. This unexpected problem worried Juha, and he was determined to find out who or what was behind it.

Juha's first obstacle was the parrot's unpredictable nature. Polly would squawk loudly, making it hard for Juha to think clearly. " - Polly, why are you so noisy today?" Juha asked, covering his ears. Each time he tried to investigate, the parrot's chatter distracted him, and he couldn't focus on solving the mystery. Juha realized he needed to find a way to keep Polly quiet if he was ever going to get to the bottom of things.

As Juha continued his search, he discovered that the back door was slightly ajar, which only deepened the mystery. " - How did this door get open?" Juha wondered aloud, inspecting the lock. But each time he tried to catch the culprit, Polly would alarm him with a series of loud whistles. Juha felt like he was chasing shadows, with no clear evidence pointing to the thief. He was becoming more and more frustrated as days went by.

After several failed attempts to catch the thief, Juha felt utterly defeated. " - Maybe I'm just imagining things," he muttered, weary from his efforts. The thought of giving up crossed his mind, as the mystery seemed unsolvable. Each day that passed without answers made Juha feel more hopeless. He considered that maybe the missing items were gone for good.

One afternoon, a wise friend visited Juha and offered him some advice. " - Juha, why don't you try hiding and watching what happens when you're not around?" his friend suggested. Inspired by this idea, Juha decided to set a trap. He left the door slightly open and pretended to leave for the market, while secretly watching from a hidden spot. Juha was hopeful this plan would reveal the truth.

Juha's plan worked perfectly, and soon, he saw his neighbor sneak into the house. " - Aha! So it's you!" Juha exclaimed, stepping out from his hiding place. The parrot squawked, "Welcome! Come on in, the house is yours!" Juha couldn't help but laugh at Polly's unintended invitation to the thief. With the mystery solved, Juha confronted his neighbor and sent him away empty-handed.

With the mystery solved, Juha decided to teach Polly a new phrase to keep the house safe. " - Polly, let's try this: 'Beware, Juha will be back soon!'" Juha instructed, smiling at his clever idea. Polly quickly learned the new phrase, and Juha felt at ease knowing his home was now protected by his vigilant feathered friend. Juha was grateful for the lesson in honesty that Polly had inadvertently taught him.

From that day on, Juha and Polly lived happily and peacefully in their old house. " - Polly, you're my hero! Thank you for your help," Juha chuckled, patting the parrot gently. With honesty restored, Juha felt a renewed sense of security and joy in his home. Visitors were always greeted by Polly's cheerful voice, and Juha never had to worry about missing items again. The pair had truly become an inseparable duo.
